Abstract:		 An assessment of Neolithic and Bronze Age information from the Sites and Monuments Record, and three area surveys, for the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland suggests that far from being an area of little occupation during these periods it is in fact comparable with much of lowland Britain. Some clearance and occupation was taking place from the early fourth millennium BC onwards with expansion by the end of the third millennium BC. Proximity to water appears to have been a key factor in the location of 'core areas' and a movement of preferred settlement location from the headwaters downstream may be suggested.
